The aftermath of the bombings made it simpler for Callahan to ask Mike favors in Mayor of Kingstown.
The first encounter between Mike and Callahan in Mayor Of Kingstown Season 3, episode 4 clearly demonstrated the differences between Mike's relative ease when handling other gang leaders like Bunny and his cautious approach with Callahan. Though he had yet to expose himself as a foe, Callahan seemed to reflect Mike's prudence with a measured approach that refused to expose his secret objectives, therefore putting him up as a worthy enemy to Mike. This became most clear when Mike and Callahan talked back on their past.
But the last meeting Mike and Callahan had in the episode exposed Callahan's actual power. Though he claimed, Mayor Of Kingstown Season 3 did not specify whether the bombing order originated from Callahan or former AB leadership, therefore Callahan was clearly in a better position. Mike indeed needed all the assistance he could get to uncover the truth from one of the bombers, and Callahan apparently provided that by suggesting a name for Mike. For Callahan, getting in exchange additional freedom by being sent to Gen Pop just made the arrangement more enticing. With his relocation to Gen Pop and an appealing promise from Mike, who guaranteed Callahan he would answer any of his calls, the pandemonium of the bombings gave Callahan more freedom. Callahan seems to have meticulously planned all of their encounters and results as he got Mike exactly as he wanted him. Callahan received the transfer to Gen Pop to become permanent and Mike's guarantee that he would have answered his calls no matter what. Not only did the bomber not admit who ordered the bombing, maybe safeguarding Callahan and his sinister scheme if it came from him. Having Mike on rapid dial and able to utilize him, Mike's promise helped Callahan become among AB's most influential leaders.
Mike & Callahan's Understanding Prepares The One Event From Kingstown's Trailer
Mike became bound by his informal role as mayor to keep the interests of all gangs in mind, so creating a link impossible to ignore between the two. Mike found it difficult to refuse a request from Callahan without good reason, so playing favorites impossible. Especially since Callahan and Konstantin's relationship was verified in Mayor of Kingstown season 3, episode 4, indicates at Callahan's ulterior objectives in establishing a connection with Mike, thereby preparing the ground for a demanding request depicted in the trailer of Mayor of Kingstown season 3.
Mike can be seen in it asking Callahan what she was doing in prison, to which she just said, "hit Bunny Washington." From an AB leader, such a request would make sense since Bunny profited from Mike's protection, left prison early than everyone else, and came out on top after AB was hit several times by police suffering many blows. But it also presented Mike's toughest obstacle since such a request from a strong leader would all but force him to turn on his buddy and ally Bunny, therefore posing a problem for which Mike never had to cope.
The First Major Threat To Callahan's Bond With Mike Is His Past
Callahan clearly succeeding in pushing Mike to provide him the same advantages other gang leaders have already bestowed upon him, endangering his connection with Bunny. Callahan indeed made Mike's life simpler by passing the ideal crime without leaving fingerprints, as Mike never received the confirmation callahan was behind the explosions. Furthermore, their experience in jail and Callahan's protection of Mike inside run the danger of souring Mike and Bunny's relationship as even if Mike refused to assist Callahan, he would have to pay back favors.
Knowing well Bunny was behind it, Mike always kept her safe even lying to his police buddies in Mayor of Kingstown season 3's opener about the hit on Robert ordered by AB. But Callahan's manipulation of Mike into treating him the same way he reserved for other leaders strains Mike and Bunny's relationship since Callahan can be a threat to Mike should he not follow his orders. For what they set up, the events of Mayor of Kingstown season 3, episode 4 especially seem perilous.
Kingstown Season 3: The Power of the Aryan Brotherhood Mayor
Callahan's demand to Mike as shown in Mayor of Kingstown season 3's teaser was set up by the disorganized aftermath of the KPD parking bombing in Mayor of Kingstown season 3, episode 4. Mike was surprised by Callahan's comeback in Mayor of Kingstown season 3, especially since Bunny told him about it. But season 3, episode 4 also showed Mike stepping extremely carefully around Callahan, clearly not trusting him and not letting the guard down one instant, evidence that Mike anticipated to approach Callahan quite differently from the other Kingstown gang leaders.
Season 3 Kingstown's mayor omitted to clarify Callahan's background, but he repeatedly demonstrated his significance inside the Aryan Brotherhood. Callahan's first appearance at Millhaven not only introduced him as someone whose advice mattered to other AB members but also as someone clearly with power as news of the police lighting the AB hideout in Kingstown reached him practically instantly. Callahan's actions, together with other criminals' want to court him so they could conduct business with him, all confirmed his significance; Mike's handling of him underlined how dangerous he was.
